council opens noisy can of wormsIn response to Islanders* complaints

over blaring radios and tae incessantstaccato of pile-dirvers heard In thevicinity of some Island constructionsites, the Sanibel Ciiy Council isworking toward the adoption of anordinance to control noise pollution onthe Island.

By introdocajBg the proposed iKjfsecontrol ordinance, which was given afirst reading at the council's regularmeeting held last Tuesday, the cityfathers opened tip a new "can ofworms" which will undoubtedly evokethe same type of inpassioBed rhetoricas that which emerged from the lips ofIslanders during the great dog controlcontroversy and the live-shellingdebate wMch raged on Sanibel lastsummer.

Among the more dubious provisionsof the proposed ordinance are a rathervague and all encompassingproMMfciQS against aH **loud, distur-bing and unnecessary noises" withinthe corporate limits of the City ofSanibel., Specifically named offenses includeunnecessarily load beams, radios,phonographs, loud speakers, yelling,shouting, animals, birds, automotiveexhaust, drams, aad. a variety ofmaeMsery msuateoly employee! by feeconstencfctQis imxusfcry.

"I cbs't taink we want to cftiter apour bods wife a iE* of rifi«iot» lawshere on SaMbel,** .Goss said.

The foremost proponents of noise

control on the city cotmeil were Vice-Mayor Bufier and Coimellman DuaneWhite.

"I think that this is a fairly well-drawn ordinance and it's exactly whatwe need," said White.

Vice-Mayor Butler added, "I thinkthis is very necessary, although someof the language is too permissive."

Islander George Christeasen notedthat the proposed ordinance as it waspresented to the city eoaaeil lastTuesday contained no criteria by whichcity policemen can jtrfge what level ofnoise constitutes a violation, whichcarries a fine of ap to $500 under theterms of the proposed legUsation.

"Yoifre going to nave to set somestandards," Christensea said, "andthey are bound to be unwieldy."

"We couldn't hire enough people toreally enforce this ordinance," Vice-Mayor BiMer eoneeded. "But this isonly intended to give the poEcedepartment some dort for when theyreally need it to stop a prolongedcUsfcarbaaee in the GomnHmity."

This draft ordinance presented to thecouncil last week was a model or-dinance prepared by City AttorneyHeal Bowes. Tfae ©HUnance is slated toiHidergs seme revisicsj by Bowea In theweeks ahead based upon suggestionsoffered by individual cooodlmea.

Islander Stan Jotasou shed somerational light on the proposedlegislatsoo when he told the eoaoeil, "Ithink there's fremeoctas pressure inthis little eomiaiHiity far yon people tosolve a l of the problems that we're-facing. But if you try to legislate all ofocr probleiBS out of ejosieoee, you'regaing to (drive yosself aad the com-HJiSBty right vp &e wall."

'The fiBctias of government isdebatable," Mayor Goss respoaded toJohnson's eemiBeBfcs. "All we're tryingto do is to wrestle with the seBttaentsof the-cmnmissty, and if noise controlis the wil of the eommuoity 1 thtak it'sotr reêimbilty to take a look at it.**

can't run a shoe factory withoutleather-you can't run a water com-pany wi&out water."

The water produced in the initialtests indicated a total dissolved solid(IDS) level of 5,400 milligrams perliter. The design capacity of theeiffrent IWA plant is rated at 3,000."Although," said Robson, "by usingIon exchange, which is non powerconsumptive, we could treat water upto 35m IDS."

IWA engineer Ian Watson told theBeard of Directors that, if the finaltests come In at MB& TDS, the IWA then

has the option of buying water fromFlorida Cities by running a pipelinefrom Rimer's Corner or installing areverse osmosis plant that wouldhandle water in the IWA's existingwells that have been capped.

The first alternative is two-threeyears away; the second is nine-monthsto a year way, depending on financing,according to Watson.

"The long-range solution," saidWatson, "is a regional distributionprogram."

The IWA Board did not want tocomment on the report's effect onwater for the coming winter. "Ratherthan start to speculate, we'll table ituntil we have all the data. You know asmuch as we do." Robson concluded.

commentaryLast week, two Lee County

paramedics were placed on suspensionfor, in essence, practicing medicinewithout a license. Hiey used adefiberlator on a man whose heart wasin ventricular fiberlatiou without theexpress permission of a doctor. Theysaved Ms life.

There was admittedly some apparentblame: a paramedic, who should haveknown better, forgot his walfcie-talMebat when he realized it, he was fourfloors up in a buildiiig with slowautomatic elevators. He could not havemade fee rouact trip in time to save theman's life. So, he acted on his own.

Their medical procedure, according

to Lee County Protective Services, wasaccurate. Considering the medicalstate in which the patient was found,there was no harm that could comefrom using the defiberlator. Again,according to Lee County ProtectiveServices m 99 times out of 100 cases, theheart in ventricular fiberlation, as wasthis patient's will not reverse itself.

The implications for Sanibel andCaptiva are important. With thecurrent radio equipment in the am-bulances, our paramedics andtechnicians cannot communicate withLee Memorial Hospital. No matter howurgent the case, all they can do now isstabilize and transport. They cannot

letter to the editorMap Series No. 28 (Oct. 1967}

published by the Division of Geology ofthe former Florida Board of Con-servation, delineates the 29 major and1? subdramage basins in Florida. TheMap was prepared in cooperation withthe U.S. Geological Survey. Glisters ofbarrier islands off several of thecounties are not ioeladed in any of the.basins.

A note on fee map states; "Drainagebasins that boarder the coast are notenclosed and their area! extent Is in-determinate or is meanisgless.'!'Tfienote then explains that such coastalareas as our barrier islands are **in-determiuate" because of their, off-shore nature that isolates them fromthe mainland.

If the reason for Chapter ?§-248 in-cluding such off-shore keys was 1©insure that all physical parts of acounty would support the WaterManagement Districts ftmdisg, then itappears reasonable that reeefpiitHMj begives to that "MeterBiinate" factor isp-0-rating fee easts of any flood-eoatralfuBciiaBS confined to mainland areas.

It seems that Sections 373.GK3, CIO),Cb) & (c) of Florida's Satittes doesmake stieh a recognition. Theyaattiorfee tlie Soafh Florida WaterMasagement Dssiriet to subdivide theOkeeehobee Basin into "smallerbasins". They also direct the USstiiet

to: "ascertain the equitable pro-ratashare for each smaller basin andcharge back such share so as to insurethat the portion of the Central andSautem Florida Flood Control Projectremaining in the District shall continueto be funded on an equal basisthroughout the entire OkeeehobeeBasin as initially described onDecember 31, 107i.*f

Obviously, the isolated hydrologicalnature of the off-shore barrier islandsof Lee County precludes them fromever being eligible for inclusion in thescope of the C&5 Florida Flood ControlProject It follows, therefore, that itwmdd be inequitable to require them toshare with the eligible mainland areasin funding the sizeable costs of the floodcontrol project.

It is urged, therefore, that the Cityformally request SFWMD to im-mediately create a "smaller basin" forSanibel and the other nearby barrierislands HOW within the OfceechobeeBasis. Also, to simultaneouslyestablish the aew subbasin's'"equitable share" at zer© for thefunding of the Flood Coated Project.The tax savings, while small, I am surewill be appreciated by Saulbei andother local taxpayers.

use the defiberlator without a doctor'spermission and current com-munications gear is inadequate toreach one.

There are plans for new radioequipment to be installed in the groundunits that will greatly enhance thecommunications between paramedicsand Lee Memorial from all over thecounty, but there will still probably beplaces where an ambulance on Sanibelor Captiva will be out of reach of thehospital, due to land depressions oratmospheric conditions.

These paramedics are some of thebest trained in the country - theparamedic in this case has been on theroad for Lee County Protective Ser-vices for two years and has completed600 hours of classroom and clinicalwork.

There is an answer. Lee Memorialdoctors can, after reviewing eachparamedic's record, issue standingorders giving the paramedic per-mission to institute such life-savingtechniques when, and only when, thereis no other alternative. For personneltrained as thoroughly as paramedics,In instances such as the recent one, thisseems to be a viable and intelligentsolution to what is really a life anddeath matter.

Let us hope it is soon.

youngest residenthappy with quiet lifeShown here is eleven month-old

Rebecca Rogero, the young lady whomofficials of the Captiva Post Officebelieve to be the youngest Islanderliving on Captiva this summer.

The adorable Rebecca, her mother,Terry (also shown here), and father,Rick Rogero, have lived on Captiva 'Road since this past February. Rick isemployed as a building contractor onthe Islands.

Young Rebecca was happy to reportthat there are extremely few Islander \in residence on Captiva these days. ^

"It's awful quiet," said her mother."Everything's closed and It's verynice."

The darling Rebecca concurred withher mother's opinion, even thoughplaymates her age are few and farbetween on Captiva of late.

Stokes celebrate golden

anniversary on SanibelThe year was 1927, and on the evening of Saturday,

October 1, a Mushing teenager by She name of PearlHunter walked breathlessly down the aisle toproclaim her nuptial wws to a young constructionworker named Jake Stokes before the family andcompany assembled far the ceremony at the home ofher uncle, Arthur Gibson, in Fort Myers.

Pearl must have felt a little bit nervous as she stoodthere in her white satin gown holding a bouquet oflilies of the valley, waiting for the nod to say, "I do,"from Reverend Walter Edwards, the first minister offee Riverside Baptist Church in Fort Myers.

Young Jake Stokes must have looked a triflesheepish while he awaited his tarn to take the oath onthat warm October night when Lee County was still asleepy agricultural area, known to only a fewpioneering visitors from the north. Bridegroomsalways do on such occasions.

"We were only eighteen when we were married and' everybody said it wouldn't last six months," recallsPearl Stokes today.

This coming Saturday, exactly fifty years from thatday back in the dims almost forgetten history of LeeCounty, Pearl and Jake Stakes wiH celebrate theirgolden wedding anniversary in the bosom of a familywhich presently numbers thirty-six grandchildrenand great-grandehildren, and wbiea, Incidentally,owes its very existence to their union.

The story of Pearl and Jake Stokes' fi% years ofmarriage is in many respects the story of IMs area,its people and its growth.

Pearl's ancestral roots in Lee County date back tofee year 1900, when, a Wefefanaan by the name ofAmenta Gibson settled ©B the Waifert Point area of aremote Island in fee Giif of Mexico called Sanibel.When the Gibsons came to Sanibel at the tarn of tfeecentury, their daughter „ Lesnie, was six years old.

In 1965, a farmer by fise same of Arfey Hunter alsocame to Saeibel to homestead oo Widf ert Point. l i te©fber crops raised on the Maud at that time, Sanibeltomatoes were much in demand as far away asGfaieago because of their remarkable Haver.

Arley Hooter raised tomatoes, peppers and eggplant GHBHiercialiy, and maintained a small gardenfor Mmself ami Ms family wMefa for many yearsprovided vegetables to ffae Matthews sisters for theguests at their resort m West Gatf Drive, knowntoday as fee Maud Inn.

is 190?, there was a marriage between two of thefamilies fanning en Wulfa? Point, and Leanie Gibsonbecame Letmie Gibson Htmtef ss she pledged hertroth to Arley.

Two years later, ia 19C8, the Banters" daughter,Pearl, was bora fa her ^•andraofeer's home is FortMyers, and wifian three years thereafter, .ArfeyHaster sold his farm m Wtdferi Point and moved hisMttte family to the eoimtry around Lake GkeeeiiGbeewhere Arley operated a commercial fishing com-pany.

Jake Stokes was bora in Feet Meade, Florida, inSOS. His parents were Tallahassee **Bab" and DolyGodwin Stokes. Tallahassee "Bob" Stokes was acattleman, the scion of a long Use of Florida cat-tlemen.

"My daddy drove cattle down to Punta Bassa Isackwhen they shipped *iia mt by sailboat to Caisa," JakeStokes recalls.

An uncoHiptomisiBg individualist, young JakeStokes left the family homestead near Fort Meadewh«i be was sixteei years old to pursue his fortune infee wHds of Soufewe : Florida. He soon fotiod Mmselfin Lee County and in short orier landed a Job wifeJJL Leftefi's marine eoostraeisaa company, where heremained for twelve years.

This portrait of Pearl and JakeStokes on their wedding day was ac-tually taken the following morning,"hitched" at night and their

photographer had little faith in hisability to take the picture without thebenefit of daylight.

then being installed on Sanibel'sbay shore for the Island PackingCompany, forerunner of Bailey'sGeneral Store, Jake remembers.

By this time, Pearl Hunter's familywas living in Fort Myers once again,and in the spring of 1927, Pearl andJake were first introduced to oneanother through Pearl's Uncle ArthurGibson, Jake's foreman with LoftenConstruction,

Although neither Pearl nor Jake willadmit it, it must have been a bona fidecase of love at first sight, for they weremarried that October and Pearl's lastname has been Stokes ever since.

"It's been a very good marriage,"said Pearl fifty years later.

"I've had no complaints," addedJake.

Exactly nine months after theirwedding night on October i, 1927, adaughter was bora to Pearl and JakeStokes. Their first child, Louise, nowgoes by the name of Louise StokesHarris and lives to Sanford, Florida.

All told, Pearl and Jake Stokes havebeen blessed with five children. Theirfirst son, DeWiltoa "Billy" Stokes wasbora in 1930 and died is 1863 whileserving in the United States Navy.

Lamar Smith Stokes was born in1934. After retiring from the BaitedStates Air Force, Lamar moved toMary Esther, Florida, near Pensaeola,where be still resides.

Their daughter, Virginia, was bora inIS3S. Sow married herself. ¥irgiBiaStakes Cofeoao lives in Miami

Their last child, Bobert, was born in1S40 and today fives in.

Eteing the depression* Pearl andJake moved from Fort Myers to St.James CMy m Pine Maud where Jakeembarked upon a career as a com-mercial fisherman. In 193S, Jakerelocated Ms prospering fishingbusiness to Sanibel said Hie Stokesfamily mowed into a IMe woodenhouse, which is m longer standing,north of Sanibel-Captiva Road m whatis now She mam tract of Sie JJ i ."Ding" Darling National WildlifeRefuge.

"Back then, you did whatever cometo hand," Jake said. "You didn't have aspecialty. The same crew built thewhole house."

Throughout much of their Me on theIslands, Pearl and Jake Stokes wereactive in the Sanibel CommunityAssociation, the Shell Fair, and othercivic activities in the community.

In the years immediately followingWorld War II, Pearl was one of a smallgroup of Islanders which took it uponthemselves to reorganize the Com-munity Association and the popularSanibel Shell Fair, as even the Islands'biggest annual event had to take a backseat and thus was discontinued due tothe war effort.

This little group made particularlynoteworthy advances in the area of thelive shell exhibit, perhaps the mostpopular feature of the annual ShellFair, for which they built the firstehiekee hut at the Community Centerand decorated it with wild orchids toadd a splash of color to the show.

Because Jake's thirty-foot charterboat was the best equipped craft on theIslands at that time, he was com-missioned to eoliect the specimens forthe Sve shell exhibit, and Jake was notsatisfied unless the show featured atleast one live junonia every year.

AH Island friends of Pearl and JakeStokes are cordially invited to an openhouse honoring them on their fiftiethwedding anniversary, Saturday, Oc-tober 1, between 2-5 p.m. at Ede Stokes'borne at 2J21 Island Inn Road.

"We had some beautiful shelleaMbits back then," Pearl recallsfondly.

"They haven't had a live junoniasinee I quit working for the Shell Pair,"claims Jake.

Is Q»e late-forties, Pearl Stokes, hermatter, and Islander Pricilla Murphyformed a short-lived civic group calledthe Sanibel Civic Association. Thisgroup's primary work was sponsoringevents and activities for Mand youngpeople up until its demise in the early-fifties.

Pearl and Priscilla Murphy alsoorganized the first Mand Cub Scoutand Girl Scout troops for Island boysand girls. According to Pearl, IslanderFrancis Bailey took over the CubScouts a few years later when the boyshad reached the age at which they wereeligible to be called Boy Scouts, whichBailey organized for them.

For a time daring the Islands' historyB.C. (before the Causeway), JakeStokes was responsible for tran-sporting young Islanders of high schoolag« across the waters of the bay to the

Wbea the aumber of Island highschool students bad swelled to the pointwhere they couldn't all fit into Jake'sboat is safety. Pearl prevailed uponErnest Einzie to make the daily schoolbus.runs with Ms ferry, and Jake was

relieved of the duty.Unbeknownst to many Islanders of

today, Jake Stokes was also the firstresident wildlife officer ever hired bythe U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service towork on Sanibel. As a part-time wildlifeofficer on Sanibel, Jake staked out theearly boundaries of what is now theDarling Refuge in about 1945 andsingle-handedly posted the first federalwildlife signs ever erected on theIslands.

Jake's term as wildlife officer onSanibel came to an end in the late-fifties when Tom Woods was appointedthe first full-time resident manager ofthe Refuge.

"It was just a part-time job and Ireally didn't want to be bothered withit," said Jake in reminiscing about biswork for the government.

In about 1950, the Stokes opened asmall Amoco gas station on theirproperty north of Periwinkle Way.They tired of the business within a fewyears, however, and the station closeddown in 1953.

"It's been a good life here on theIslands," Pearl Stokes reflected uponapproaching her fiftieth wedding an-niversary. "We've loved it and we'veloved each other. I'm glad we've hadthe chance to raise our children here."

By this time, Pearl's Island-bredchildren have reared their ownchildren, many of whom have in turnraised children of their own. Despite allour attempts to stop it, life goes on andthe human cycle repeats itself.

At the present time, Pearl and JakeStokes have twenty grandchildren,only one of whom, Barbara Ann Stokes,lives on the Islands. At last count, theStokes have sixteen great-grandchildren with one more known tobe on the way.

"But you can't count 'em beforethey're hatched," cautions Jake.

This coming Saturday, exactly fiftyyears to the day from the day they werewed, as many of Pearl and Jake'sprogeny as can attend will be gatheredat the home of Edythe Stokes on islandInn Road to honor their forbears on theoccasion of their golden anniversary.Edythe Stokes is the couple's daughter-in-law, the first wife of their son,Lamar.

According to Edythe, all Mandfriends of Pearl and Jake Stokes arewarmly invited to attend the reception,which will be held between 2:00 and5:00 p.m. this Saturday.

After fifty years of married life,Pearl and Jake are no newcomers tothe custom of celebrating their wed-ding anniversaries. The SanibelCommunity House was the site of theirsilver anniversary party in 1952, a galabash thrown by their dear friend,Priscilla Murpby.

Their forty-fifth wedding an-niversary five years ago provided anoccasion for their children to throw awell-executed surprise party in theirhonor, but similar plans for this year'sgolden event were abandoned becauseof the large number of relatives anddescendants planning to attend feecelebration. Pearl said that even someof those who were on hand to witnesstheir exchange of vows fifty years agowill be present at the reception thisweekend.

"I think we'll quit when we get to our

seventy-fifth anniversary," Pearljoked last week, " t t a t i be longenough."

At the present day, with the nationaldivorce rate running somewherearound fifty per cent for fee first twoyears of marital Miss, a marriagewhich has withstood the changes offifty years seems almost like an an-ei»r©nism, H national statistics can betrusted* osly oae o»& <rf every twoeoqfles married ia this country todaycan ever hope to see'their fifth an-niversary, let along their golden an-niversary.

Thus, we asked Pearl and Jake ifthey have any words of advice to im-part to today's young couples juststarting out on the road to connubialfelicity. To be more precise, we askedthem to reveal the secret of their long-lived marriage.

"I don't know of anybody else whowould have put up with me for fiftyyears," Pearl replied, attributing thelongevity of her marriage to Jake's all-enduring patience. She added that herside of the family was never known forlong marriages, her mother as well asall of her children but one having beenmarried at least three times.

Jake, on the other hand, can point tothe fact that his maternal grand-parents were married for sixty-four

years, while his paternal grandparentswere married in almost equallyphenomenal length of time.

When asked to what he owes hisunusual patience with his wife of fiftyyears, Jake Stokes replied simply, "Idon't like trouble!" Words of wisdomfrom a man with fifty years of ex-perience in the marital state.

So newlyweds take note-the voices ofexperience say patience is the key to alasting marriage.

And to Island pioneers Pearl andJake Stokes, the ISLANDER wishesyou all possible happiness and manyreturns of the day on this occasion ofyour golden wedding anniversary.

municipal recordsCITY TO CRACKDOWN ON

UNLICENSED CONTRACTORS

John Goode, director of the City ofSanibel's Department of Engineering andPublic Services, revealed recently thatbegmniag October 1, the city is going to takea "bard-nosed look" at the statas of buOdfagcontractors working on the Island in respectto the requirements of Sanibel's oc-cupational license ordinance.

"We're really going to crack down oncontractors," Goode said last week,"primarily because we've 'noticed a let ofviolations recently."

Goode said that within tfae past few weeks,the city has received seven complaints fromIslanders reporting unlicensed contractorsat work on building projects on SanibeLGoode indicated that a namfaer of the recentcomplaints have come from other con-tractors who are objecting to tfaepreferential treatmeat being shown tocontractors at work on Sanibei without theaecessary city occapatisaal license.

For a contractor to obtaia as occupationallicense witfc which to work onSaaibel, hemust submit to a certification cf Ms finan-cial and professional competency to esigsgein business on the Maud. Certificates of

competency, as required under the oc-cupational license ordinance, are issuedfollowing a fact-finding bearing undertakenby tfae city's Code Compliance Committee,which is comprised of members of theIsland's building industry.

"We're going to take a good hard look atthis whole area during tfae first few weeks ofOctober," said Goode.

He urges all building contractors at workon Sanibei to come in and apply for a cityoccupational license in order to avoid anyproblems in this respect.

'•"We want to get everybody engaged inconstruction on Sanibei playing by the samerules and going in the right direction,"Goode concluded.

So, building contractors be forewarned—the city means business.

FACT-FEOHNG TEAMCREATED FOR SEA OATS

At the request of Virginia South Cor-poration attorney William T. Haverfield, theSanibei City Council agreed last week tocreate a city fact-finding team to attempt an-

amicable negotiation of the density disputeinvolving the Virginia South Corporation's70-acre Sea Oats Subdivision lying betweenWest Gulf Drive and Sanibel-Captiva Roadwest of Rabbit Road.

The Virginia South group has proposed ageneral amendment to Sanibel's com-prehensive land use plan to permit thedevelopment of 143 single-family buildinglots on the property, which is allocated amaximum density of only 16 units under thecity's land use plan.

Upon concluding that the matter is atransitional case because the developmentwas begun prior to the preparation ofSanibel's land use plan, the city councilappointed Vice-mayor Zee Butler to head upthe new fact-finding team.

Other appointments to the fact-findingteam have yet to be announced.

PLANNERS CONTINUE GROWTHRATE DELIBERATIONS

During a special workshop meeting onSeptember 19, the Sanibei Planning Com-mission heard some rather significantstatistics in relation to their deliberations as

to how the young city might best curtail therate of growth of Sanibel's population.

According to Sanibei Planning DirectorCarleton Ryffel, who based bis report ondata compiled by the city planning depar-tment and the Southwest Florida RegionalPlanning Council, the City of Sanibei hasbeen growing at a rate of roughly six percent each year since January of 1975. for acompounded growth of fifteen per cent since -that time.

The figure of six per cent annual growthcorresponds to an average of 270 newdwelling units having been constructed onSanibei each year since the beginning of1975, although planning commissionChairman Ann Winterbothan said thataboout 364 new units, both residential andcommercial, were built on the Island lastyear along.

Ryffel theorized that a continuing six percent growth rate would bring about the totalbuildout of 7,800 dwelling units on Sanibei,the maximum ceiling imposed by Sanibel'scomprehensive land use plan, within thenext twelve years.

"The fact is that the public supportsystems are getting further and furthfbehind in terms of meeting the demands G.growth," commented CommissionerGeorgeTenney. "What it all boils down to isthat the sword is hanging over our heads."

"How does it profit us to have a zerogrowth rate in terms of dwelling units if wedon't have any control over the amount oftraffic on our roads?" queried Com-missioner Betty Robinson. "Limitinggrowth is not going to solve the problem ofmobility on this Island, nor is it going tosolve the hurricane evacuation problem."

According to RyffeJ's admittedly con-servative esBmate, it will take almost teahours to safely evacuate the Islands in theevent of a hurricane or other major disaster.He added that tfae volume of traffic using theSanibei Causeway has iocreased by 88 percent since January of 1975,

Faced with such potentially alarmingstatistics, the planning commission is at-tempting to work out a practical way tocurtail the rate of Sanibel's growth, withspecial emphasis on the economic capabilityof the city and of other vital public supportsystems serving Sambel to provide servicesto aecomodate the Island's growth.

"The cost f actor is a very important oae tothe taxpayers," Chairman Winterbothampointed out to the city council at then-meeting last Tuesday.

During the commission's workshopmeeting last week, Mrs. Winterbothammade a very preliminary proposal to tfaeeffect that fee city permit an annial growthrate of about three per eent-sffil in excess of

The planning commission hopes to have areeftromfiwdatkm concerning Sanlbel's rate

food for thought by Julie gray

There are those of i s in this worldwho wouldrather eat Chinese food thanany other, anything else, any time ofday, any day or night.

I confess I am one.But at last I have met a fellow addict

- Judy Spiegel, who will be teachingthe Chinese cooking course at the CapeCoral Yacht Club during the next fewweeks,

"I always preferred Chinese food toany other, even as a little gfrl. We usedto go out for Chinese food and alwaysorder extra, so I could take home somefor breakfast the next day," Judy said.

"Of course, being that it was break-fast, I rationalized that it was moreacceptable if the extra dish was egg-fooyoung!" see laughed.

"My mother used to say that I ate somuch Chinese food I was beginning tolook oriental-"

Judy lives with her husband Stanley(owner of Robert's Pharmacy in CapeCoral) and three children-Andy, 12%,Douglas, 9 and Alison, 7 in the Townand River section of Port Myers. Batwith sons in the soccer association aadStan's business, pirn membership atTemple Betfa-EI and teaching a£ theyacht club, "I live much of my life inCape Coral," Judy said.

The Spiegel family emigrated tothese parts about a year ago fromWoosijury, Long IsJaai, in search ofthe sun. First Judy's parents, Mr. andMars. Max Berg, moved here for thefishing.

Then Judy, who is a "sbeSer" withaa extensive coiectioa, wanted tomove down. "Stan came became beloves me,** she said,

Besides sftelii&g, Jady likes tennis,coHeetiag paper weights, aoiHpes—"just say I'm a eelleet©r."

"I'm very involved ia my childrenand their activities and a great steal oftime is spent drivisg them about."

In her spare time Jady is iwetsed ina business called "Gourmet Teach," aline of hors'doeuvres, m«Bse pies asdquiches, found at several localdeMeatessaeas and Roberts Pharmacy.

Judy studied eoakfsg with severalChinese restaurant chefs oa a privatebasis, and then took lessons for threeyears at the Chins Institute ia New-York City.

IB her course at the Cape Coral YachtClub CwMes is filed and has a waitinglist) Judy wfl assume her studentsknow very little about the cowtry ofChina aad its provinces. Sfee willdseuss the foil" types of cooMBgt d»wstudents how to use a cleaver aad howto season a wok.

"'When I was growing up" there wasonly ooe kind of Chinese food knows lathis country really, and that wasCantonese," Judy said.

"However, there are three otterprovinces feat I will teach aboot -Mandarin, Szeetaaa aad Fukisou Youmay sot know it, tat set all CMoese

Cooking Is stir-fried aad done at thelast moment Fufcem cooking is in factcomprised of many stews."

Participation wil be the thing In thisclass," Judy explained."Each student will work with a cleaverand we will eat the results of our ef-forts. In fact, we will Ieara how to eatwith chopsticks."

"Ia eating with chopsticks theeompetitiQii is equal. Those who eatfast wQl have to slow down in order tomanage it with chopsticks, therebypermitting the slow eater to get aneqaal share of the food," Judy said.

"Chinese food appeals to the sensesas'well as the taste," Judy said as shetaught her daughter Allison to usechopsticks.

"The visual appeal of this cuisinedoes not rely on decoration or gar-nishment. You will note from thefollowing recipes that visual appeal iscreated by cutting all items in the samerecipe in a similar matter. Greatregard Is paid to an inter-relation oftextures aod colors IB the food."

"I believe-that Chinese cuisine isbetter than any otter in the world andthat isdeties French. Today, Chinesefood is eoeisdered by many, along withFrench,, te be one of fee two greatesttypes of eooMng. For all of that it issimple, highly adaptable to a variety ofiBp-edtesats-aad best of all, it can beprepared by anyone pressed of alittle patience."

Judy recctmm«&ds tfae "Time-lifeBook of CMnese Cooking" as an ex-cellent took for tfae beginner. She mayate teach an later Intermediate coarseaad Jibe begtanars coarse again,

Judy also added this cuisine is ideallysuited in many cases to diets for heartpatients, ifiabeties, and other specialdietary ret irements, includingcalorie-watching.

police reportAn anonymous caller

phoned SPD to complain ofunnecessarily loud roekmusic playing all night nearhis residence oa the Island.

Patrolmen dispatched tothe scene heard no trace ofsuch noisome music andreturned to the stationrather crestfallen. .

Island Policemen had thepleasure of reuniting a lestdog with its owner last week.The pet was found near anIsland motel, and throughtracing the number oa thedog's tag its owner wasidentified and muchdelighted with the return ofhis furry friend.

An Islander called SPD toreport that her home hadbeen burglarized while sheand her husband were out eotheir boat one day.

Items found missing fromthe beuie iacluded somenecklaces, rings, and a winebottle filled with halfdollars.

Island police have turnedup no clues to seed any light

on the mystery thus far,although the investigation iscontinuing.

The manager of-an IslandMarina reported the theft ofa boat last week which hadbeen stolen once before thissummer and found adrift inthe vicinity of Buck Key.

The missing boat was an18-foot bowrider with 70 hpmotor and other boatingequipment valued at over$3,500.

All pertinent marine andother law enforcementautorities were notified ofthe theft, and finally themarina manager calledback to report that themissing craft had beenfound by marine patrolofficials adrift is the wateisoff Captiva, Once again, themotor and other marinesafety equipment had beenstripped from the vessel,which was finally towedback to the marina.

What's that adage aboutlightening?

And the investigationconfiaues.

A visitor to the Islandsfound SBO in traveller'schecks last week in theparking lot of an Islandshopping center, and turnedher find over to SPD.

Within an hour, the ownerof the checks turned up toclaim them and was quitepleased at the recovery.

One unlucky Islanderreported having lost hiswallet containing $500 incurrency last week.

In this case, the walletwas either not found by agood Samaritan or not foundat all, as it has not beenreturned to SPD or to itsowner, who is, therefore,one very unhappy ex-ownerof said wallet.

An islander called SPDlast wees to rport that themailbox in front of theSasibel Post Office had beenkjsoeked over, either oyvandals or by a nearsightedmotorist

Evidentally, the mailboxmust have grown sleep andlaid down to nap formoment. After beingdiscovered "out of uniform"shall we say, by the com-plainant, it must have risento its feet once again inembarassment at havingbeen caught off its guard.

An Island resident phonedthe station to complain of abeach party with illegalbonfire in progress on

Sanibel's Gulf beach.Patrolmen dispatched to

the area found a group ofIsland visitors shark fishingalong the beach with a smallfire going. No liquor, loosewomen or rowdy behaviorwere noticed by the in-vestigating officers.

The fishermen were in-structed to come to thestation and obtain a permitfor their little fire, whichwas quickly accomplishedand the fishing proceeded.

Another Islander calledSPD last week to complainof a bonfire and party inprogress on the beach.

As this group of merry-

maker was found to bedrinking beer and making ageneral disturbance, theparty was dispersed byIsland patrolmen.

A small puppy was foundinjured last week in themiddle of an Island roadwayby a visitor.

By the time an officerarrived at the scene torender assistance, the pupwas dead.

An Island apartmentowner called the station lastweek to report that his

mind the stepThe ISLANDER Tuesday September 27,1977

Our first seaport via the T.S.S.Lermontov was LeHavre, France. Atthe dock was a French lady whowanted to talk with Americans whilewe waited for our tour bus to start.

She remembered our soldier boyswhen they landed saying, "Come^si-

sme-sa but you are most welcome."d, indeed, I sure guess they were.

As a matter of fact, in a foreigncountry, I never pass a statue or aplaque about our American doughboyswithout a lump in my throat to think ofhow thousands were sent to theirdeaths in a faraway land. The bronzetablets sound good: "sacred to thememory of "

There once was a pignant song I amold enough to remember:

"I didn't raise my boy to be asoldier,I brought him op to be my prideand joy,Who dares to lay a gun apon MsshoalderTo kill some other mother's

. darling boy.nations ail debate their fatare

troubles,It's time to lay the sword and gunaway,Tfaere'd be no war today, ifmothers all weald say'I dMn*£ raise by boy to be asoldier!

by ruth hunter

LeHavre suffered greatly during thewar so now a new city lies over the warrubble, modern and very beautiful. St.Joseph's Church is built like a sky-scraper with a steeple light to warnaeroplanes.

Our French guide explained the longrows of white permanent cabanas onthe beach."1 "Each year, you get onespotcloser^to the sea," she said. But ofcourse one could always walk to thewater; the road was at the water'sedge. Houses—I saw one with a fakestork on the chimney—were not built onthe beach, giving everyone a fairshake.

Our cockney taxi driver fromTDlbury-on-the-Thames, were our shiparrived in England, talked a bluestreak all the way to London.

"This is the lyme-ouse district-thatpub there is one hundred yearsoM.....Diekens 'ad 'is beer there, hedid, And that's the 'ospital where I wasborn. Mum *ad nine of us I remembermy dad knocked every tooth out of 'er'ead."

When I shuddered at this, he added,"oh, it was the custom in them days.There's fee public bath," be added."No one in tins aegfaboriKKxi kin 'ave abath at home."

coast. King George made this seasideresort popular and Weymouthgratefully acknowledges this with a bigstatue of him in the center of thepromenade-that's what we need onSanibel. Not a king's statue, but apromenade along the beach for a stroll.What makes the king's statue sounusual is that it is colored red, blueand yellow.

Our room with a balcony was in amansion that was once the home of theDuke of Clarence and our meals wereserved in the Duke's wine cellar, verypicturesque. The old Duke had noprovision for cars being parked hi frontof his mansion and so it was a race toget a good spot.

I found one in front of the entranceand stood and defied a car to run meover. The driver had spied it, too. Iwent into a tale of woe of having tocarry our suitcases around the block,etc., etc. Though the Duke's residenee-now the Hotel Rex- was $25.00 a nightplus, the Duke hadn't left any footmenfor this.

After I explained that we werestaying the night and he wasn't,, heacquiesced. "But only if you say you'resorry," said he, "then I'll give thispJace to you."

You can well imagine I was thesorriest person in all of England at thattime I almost wept I was so sorryand ended up with parking where wecould see from our balcony our car, thesea and also an inflated 30-foot rubbercastle inside of which the kids onholiday jumped and fell down andknocked each other over, having a ball.

Asking questions about how to get to

church in the morning, a young mantook my hand and kissed it when he sawI was wearing a medal like his.

A sign on the way advertised a "do";that is, a men's club was having anaffair including games, sports,refreshments and "china smashing".How about this for our fish fry orKiwanians: china smashing!

Holiday time hi Britain is a gay,loverly time and everyone you can seeis very happy with simple pleasures.After a rainy Sunday of driving toFalmouth, our Wickham Guest House *was so inviting with a tasty dinner at atable overlooking an English rosegarden. And, so lucky for us, too-thatnight the Silver Men's Band had aconcert at the Princess Pavilion a halfblock away.

This was a fairyland place with anenclosed big garden. A Victorianbandstand'stood in the miHdle and atthe booths which were made of pine, allsorts of goodies were for sale: Cornishpasties, raison cake, apricot jam withbiscuits, etc.

We hiked up to Princess Pavilionduring our three-night stay atFalmouth, for on weekdays, a Germanband (the men in Tyrolean outfits)entertained with boomfah-boomfahand the customers drank beer andlife was full of cheer.

by lorraine ashfordA friend of mine recently

sent me a column from theNorth Bay Daily Nuggett (inOntario) to which I takegreat exception. Thepolitical scene in thiscountry is confused enoughwithout the contributions ofcolumnists who thrive moreon reader interest thanobjectivity. Small wonder Ifound English backlash sohostile against Quebec, inOntario.

This particular columnistuses the verb "terrorize"when referring to PremierLevesque and his "hard-linecampaign." I dislike themethods of the PartiQuebecois (PQ) as much asthe next one, but I assureyou, no one I have talked tohere is "terrorized."Worried, yes-but there is avast difference in the twofeelings. It is emotionaljournalism that is partly toblame for English Canadaseeing " sepa ra t i s t e s"

The comments of thisNorth Bay journalist who(even facetiously) linksPrime Minister Trudeauwith Premier ReneLevesque would not beworth a response if itweren't for the fact that a lotof Canadians believe it. Ail Ican say in one word isHogwash! Trudeau andLevesque have beenpolitical enemies for yearsas anyone knows who takesthe trouble to read a Frenchpaper or listen to Frenchnews. To contemplate foreven one second that thesetwo men of opposite up-bringings and educationcould (or would) work to-gether for the destruciton ofCanada is downrightirresponsible.

Then, of course, few malecolumnists can refrain fromdemeaning Marga re tTrudeau. Its the old story of"Cnerchez-la-femme" whena crisis is involved. Thoseremarks on Margaret aretoo provincial for commentof any kind. Suffice to saythat Ottawa correspondentCharles Lynch, for whom Ihave great respect, statesthat the Liberal party isconcerned that Mr. Trudeaumight resign from office infavour of his wife andfamily. That hardly soundslike Trudeau is planning aCanadian take-over. Apartfrom that, the Oppositionparties in the capital wouldbe in full cry if they thoughtfor a moment that the PrimeMinister of this country was

considering treason, even infantasy.

What people have toremember is that thisprovince has not separatedyet even though the PQ islaying down the groundrules in case it does. Whenthis government has an-tagonized business, laboui .>and the man in the street(French and English alike)over the educational ruling,the chance of the referen-dum being passed in itsfavour become slimmerevery day. If the rest ofCanada can keep its cool,we'll pull out of this.

Columnists who enjoyfiring the emotional flamesin all of us will have to bea }some of the responsibility ifQuebec pulls out. I am notFrench but have livedamong French Canadiansfor many years and feel theonly hope for them is anunderstanding Canada.

The vote last Nov. 15 w -not FOR the PQ but agai )the Liberals who were nobetter with their Bill 22. ThePQ is in power four years _.before they thought they hada chance so its a case ofthem putting up or shuttingup. Its out in the open nowwhere we can all deal withit.

I wouldn't miss thisreferendum for anythingand I wish that allCanadians who SAY theywant this country to stay to-gether would come downhere, get a job of any kind,and get oa the voters' listWe need all the positive helpwe can get But, if you can'tdo that, how about a littlecompassion for the people?Isn't that what Canada is allabout?

When men want to tame a jungle,ey slam a road through. The road

;gs with it construction crews andtheir beer cans, noise, the stink of carfumes, stores for tourists, and thedestruction of any quietness andprivacy for humans and wild animalsliving nearby that once existed. Roadsused to be thought of as specifically fortravelers and were welcomed, alongwith the friends and provisions theybrought to ones home. Now roads andcars reach so closely into our lives thatinly a few landwise or wealthy people

are still able to have the quietness thatwe once thought our right. Roads arenow being thought of in terms of thepeople whose homes about them, andthe views of these people are becomingstronger each year.:._ A few years ago in New Hampshire,,

__ dirt road I lived on was widenedand tarred and most of the old beautifulmaples and oaks and stone walls werebulldozed away. I had bought my homebeside this raod because it was a quietplace. Now cars roared by, childrenwere not safe, and it looked ugly ashell.

I was so mad that I wrote up a SceneRoads Bill, got a Senator to sponsor it,and spent four months working to get itthrough the state legislature. It seemedthat there were hundreds of people whofelt the way I did, and they came fromthe farthest ends of the state to testify

in Concord. The Highway Departmentdid its best to sabotage the bill, but wewon. Massachusetts passed an iden-tical law the next year, and Main andVermont were working on it when Ileft. People who buy land and live on itare becoming pretty vociferous abouttheir rights.

The same holds true for people onSanibel. If Gulf Drive is connected allthe way along, its abuttors will find inno time flat: beer cans, noise, carfumes, stores for tourists, and thedestruction of any quietness andprivacy that once existed, as well as aPeriwinkle Way type of traffic jam.The first proposed link goes rightthrough wetlands where the land is halfa foot under water right now. Residentswhom Fve talked with down this wayare almost to a person unanimous instating their opposition to a new road.They know what it will bring.

"People take roads too lightly." saidmy htsband George.

Last winter, I moved faster on footdown Periwinkle Way than the trafficdid. If another road is built for traffic,it will ease the problem for awhile, andthen the situation will be the same onthe new road.

Hie solution is not to be had inbuilding more of the same. The solutionI believe is in knowing precisely when

Richard Beebe — a remembranceRichard Beebe passed away on

Friday, September 16. He wasworking in his garden.

He and his wife Caroline hadmoved to Pecten Court on Sanibelfive years ago after spending 36years in New York State, first as ateacher and then as a schoolprincipal.

He was President of the Sanibel-Captiva Audubon Society, and well-known for his perceptive essays inthe Island Reporter about thewildlife on the islands. He had adeep love of wild things, and notmuch love for the humans whodestroyed them. He liked to get inhis canoe and paddle down theSanibel River, observing andphotographing. He took somebeautiful pictures, and was able tofind some unusual birds with bisQuestar scope which could reachway out over the mudflats in theDing Darling Sanctuary and bringthe images close to his eye. Myhusband George speaks about themany times he and Richard went tosearch for rare birds on the sand-

spit off of Fort Myers Beach,saying that Richard was alwaysgenuinely excited by new sightings,never blase.

One of the most interesting talksgiven this past winter was the oneRichard gave after his trip toAfrica a year ago in which heshowed slides of African birds andcompared them with theirAmerican counterparts, pointingout how beautiful and exotic ournative birds are.

A memorial service was held forRichard in the Community Churchearly last week, and as we left thechurch in the near dark and walkedto our cars, an Osprey was whitlinghigh up in a nearby tree, apenetrating, high pierced call.Four of us stopped and listened.Normally, Ospreys don't call afterdark. We wanted to take it as asign, a goodbye from the wildcreatures he loved. We will misshim very much, and offer oursympathies to his wife Caroline andtheir two children, Richard andSuzanne.

and where to put on the brakes. If youown a beautiful car and you're beadingdown a steep hill and you want your carto survive, you don't step on the gas. Ihave a feeling that the time will come,and that, soon, when the islands willlimit the number of cars allowed onthem, as I believe Honolulu does now.

I went toYosemite Park a couple ofyears ago to see what John Muir hadfound so beautiful. We went after LaborDay, when the glut of peoplepresumably had left. We found touristbusses with blaring horns, andthousands of cars, campers, andpeople. The place had been destroyed.

Hie same thing is happening onSanibel. It may seem "Undemocratic"to limit tiie enjoyment of this smallpiece of Florida to a certain number ofpeople at a time, but the questionremains: to whom does Sanibel5'belong" (if land can be said to belongat all-} ? To the people who paid mooeyto be able to live on a bit of its beauty,or to the hordes of visitors who comehere each winter? Almost withoutexception, it seems to be a fact thatresidents take care of the land they liveon; visitors pollute, perhaps, becauselike other animals, they feel a seed to"leave their mark."

on the waterby mike fuery

We islanders who are "year 'roun-ders" are taking a breather at this timeof the year and enjoying some of themany attractions this area offersbefore the tourist season resumes. But,if you are a visitor to the islands now,you can do the same things andpractically have the islands to yourself.

SHELLING

I'm a firm believer in competition,but not when it comes to finding selectshells. This is the time of the year whenyou can walk some of the more remotebeaches and rarely see another person.It's been great after dodging kids,dogs, surf casters and sand castles.

The result, visitors, is that you havesome of the best shelling opportunitiesthere are. Sanibel and Captiva beachesare loaded with all kinds of shells andthe slight increases in wave action onthe beaches are opening up mounds ofshells. Many people have their favoriteshells area, but one of the best includethe Blind Pass area, between Sanibeland Captiva Islands. Bowman's beachis also good, if you can keep you mindof your own business. The light housetip of Sanibel (lower end of island)offers some good shells, but even in the

so-called off-season, there are peopleon the beach this time of the year.

If you want to really wander the goodshelling beaches and have pulled a boatto the islands, you should try the shorelines of Upper Captiva and Cayo CostaIslands. If you have a really big boat,get up to the Johnson Shoals area,south of Boca Grande Pass, where Ihave it on good authority that there isan excellent colony of sand dollarsliving near the old wreck there.Without a boat of your own, there aremany guides who will get you up thereor you can rent a small skiff and makeit an adventure for yourselves.

FISHING

The annual snook run is slowingcoming to an end after a very laggingstart. That's not to say that snookfishing was poor this year, because itwas good, but the linesides move outand are thankfully replaced withredfish. The redfish goes by so manyother names that it even gets meconfused, but you need to east underthe mangroves with a shrimp under apopping cork to get the first of the redrun.

The best thing about fishing this time

RDULTMOBILE HOMECOMMUNITIES

of the year is that chances are you willbe the only one out there! One of ourguides came into the marina the otherday amazed to find that on a Sundayafternoon there were only two boatsfishing near him at Redfish Pass. In theSpring, fishing Redfish Pass, you couldcount a dozen boats and sometimes upto 25 at one time.

If you are land bound, then fish thepier at the lighthouse end of Sanibel.It's free and offers an ideal place to weta line. You can buy a bucket of shrimpand use your limber pole to fish alongthe surf on the outside of the islands.Might pick up a late snook at sunset ora few catfish if you aren't that lucky.

SAILING

It is such a pleasure to sail aroundthe islands this time of the yearbecause the boat is not contending with"northeners" or strong northerlywinds that come down in waves duringthe winter months.

The summer winds come out of thp-southeast in the mornings and off tl.Gulf of Mexico in the afternoon. Thatsteady afternoon wind, kicking up lightwhite caps, is best for sailing. Steady,warm breezes.

Ironically enough, there aren't anysailors around this time of year itseems.

So, if you've come to visit the islandsnow, you are in luck. Of course a fewrestaurants might no be open, andsome shops are closed, but the realabundance of the islands are there foryour enjoyment.

islander boatnotes by Al Stressen-Reuter

It was hot!The almost noonday sun was beating

down and there was no shadeanywhere. Clouds had deserted us ashad the wind. The Glass Slipper a 49-foot catamaran, rolled slightly in analmost imperceptible swell. The ocean,as smooth as glass a thousand milesfrom Los Angeles and more than thatfrom Honolulu. It was ridiculous. Therace from Los Angeles to the Islandswas a downhill slide; an easy race; thetrade winds always blew. What hadhappened? The answer was: nothing.This was not typical, true, but beingbecalmed in the middle of the Pacificdid happen and we could prove it. Thefirst day out from the mainland hadbrought us the west to southwest windsand our course had been due south. Sealife of all kinds slithered through thephosphorescence, making streaks thatcrossed and crisscrossed from near thesurface to way way down, how far Ididn't know. It was a beautiful sight.Porpoise torpedoed, and at fee lastmoment dove under us and out oo the

other side. It seemed as if the oceanwas literally alive with life. A bigwhale came alongside, stayed with usabout 15 minutes, blowing and he wasso close that the fetid, fishy smell of hisbreathing was almost nauseating.

The next morning we had half adozen flying fish on deck. Our en-terprising cook cleaned them andserved them for breakfast. They weredelicious if you Mke fish with scrambledeggs. I prefer bacon.

That was the last sea life anyone hadseen, and that was five days ago. Wewere south of the shipping and air lanesand nothing seemed alive exceptourselves. We had checked in with theweather ship at eight that morning, theeight o'clock roll call, and our com-petition was mostly behind us exceptfor Pattycat n which was 30 miles tothe north and about the same distanceon course to Honolulu.

The sun was now right over us. InJuly, in those latitudes, the sun is evena little bit north instead of south, and itburned straight down. Our sails wereslatting. There was not a vestige ofbreeze.

A swim..Why not..Within 20 seconds all seven of the

crew were overboard. The water was-crystal clear. Shouts and laughs hadreplaced the hot sweaty dourness thathad prevailed minutes before. A quickwipedown of the bottom was done,although it had just been painted beforethe start of the race.

Slowly a riffling of the water off onthe horizon tokened a breeze. In a fewminutes, it reached us. The GlassSlipper started to move. Our tradewinds had decided that our swim wasover.

Refreshed, we trimmed our sails,took down the drifter, and set thespinnaker. We were moving! Our speedindicator registered two knots. We hadto move a lot faster to keep our averageof 200 miles a day.

Off to starboard I saw something inthe water. It closed in on us. It was thefin of a fish. It was a shark. It was thebiggest shark I had ever seen, at-tracted to us by the noise and thesplashing. It was the first sea life sincethat first night.

The breeze picked up, we weremoving at five knots, Honolulu here wecome!

The magic products are with us toStay.

I pride myself that I am open-mindedand will listen when someone tries totell me how to do something that I a-an expert in doing. Cleaning of all kinaais an integral part of all boats andparticularly charter boats. Mildew, rotand other unpleasant no no's are thebyproducts of a dirty boat. This week itwas dirty, mildewed fenders and teak.

How does one get that black mildewoff of a white rubber boat fender. Tobegin with, there should not be anymildew. But apparently those littledevils can get used to eating anythingand they will enjoy your fenders ftbreakfast if given a chance. AspergillisNiger, I believe is their name. They areas black as their name and whitefenders look atrocious when infestedwith them. I'm not so sure that theydon't cause a spreading of their kindonce they get started.

I have scrubbed with all kinds ofscouring powders, detergents, bronzewool and anything else in our cleaninglocker. Nothing worked.

I told Helen that I would try it, butould return it if it didn't work. This

O.K. with her.It worked!'!Spraying this product on the whole

fender seemed literally to melt awaythe mildew, and within five minutes, Ihad a sparkling white fender!!!

Itis magic'

Teak, while a beautiful wood is itsnatural state, collects salt when usedas trim on a boat and fee salt thencollects any dirt that is in the air or onthe deck as is the case on the Papa fiui.We have about one hundred and twentyfeet of leak toe rail and numerousassorted cat walks, pads and other teakall over the boat. The teak gets dirty sogradually that it is almost JUB-xiotieeable. The day finally comes whenit can no longer be igsored, I usuallyuse a scrub brush anct a detergent. Theteak cleaners 00 the market are allvery good, but this story is not aboutmagic deaners. but about brushes.

We have used 3-M plastic woolbrushes on our bottom cleanisg jobs forseveral years. They are mudt fasterthan conventional brushes and do abetter job. Knowing what aknuckelbtisting job that the teakcleaning was, I thought of the 3-Mplastic wool brush because it had a

veoieat handle. I tried it and im-ately wait over to Western Auto

PAPA

and bought some replacements as Iknew I had a winner. It does a muchfaster and cleaner job than the oldfashioned scrub brush. Also, I havesome mildew spots on the deck that areimpossible to get off with scouringpowder or any of the magic products.Using this plastic wool scrub brush didthe trick. I can't think of any placewhere this scrub brush won't workbetter than a eonvential brush, exceptpossibly on very rough, surfaces whichmight tear up the plastic wool pad. It isalso important to note that the plasticwool does not rust as does steel wooland is considerably less expensive thanbronze wool.

I sailed in the Ladies' Day Raceaboard the Interceptor. I also goofed!

It happened this way. The startingline was between the pier and thecommittee boat. There was not a wholelot of water between the committeeboat and the shore, so our start was, bynecessity, a controlled one, without anyfancy maneuvering. One minute beforethe start, a boat had crossed the lineand was coming back; another entrywas coming up to the line. Both of theseboats were in front of us and a collisionseemed imminent. I grabbed the wheeland swung us to port to clear onetransom and to starboard to dear theother, and then we crossed the line.And we had a good start! From thea on,the whole crew was busy handling sailsand I was talking to Joy Harris.Howard Harris' 12-year-old daughter,oa the helming and maneuvering of thelargest boat in the fleet. It was anexciting race and wMIe we led for thefirst two legs, we were not as adept atspinnaker handling as was TrumanMorris' TNT. He took over at the thirdmark and we never caught Mm.

On the last leg, it occurred to me tocheck OQ fee time that the Ladies tookover, as fee only time that a man hadtouched the wheel was just before thestart, and that was me. Dock Harristold me that the women took over at thepreparatory gun and no one but theladies could touch the wheel from tbaaon. I had blows the race!

Well, you can't win them all.It has occurred to me as well as to

others that the purpose of the LadiesDay Races could be clarified. Therewere four or five boats in the race withall-girl crews. While this does set thetenor of these races, it might not bepossible to recruit enough female crewfor all of the boats. This of course wouldbe the ultimate, and it would be a lot offun. However I imagine that therewould be a lot of fingernails chewedbefore the race was over. Never-theless, more participation by thewomen in racing is the idea, and itseems to me that the Lady Skippershould be the one to call the shots, andrace the boat. And not have someonebreathing down her neck on every turnor decision. How about it, CMCS.

It has been reported to us thatdrivers have been spear fishing on thenew Offshore Reef. Nothing will stopthe reef from growing more thanhaving divers cleaning out the reefperiodically. We feel that while thisreef is for everyone, spearing fish wasnot contemplated in the original con-cept.

SPD wins again

Sargeant Bill Trefny and OfficerDick Noon will be among the membersof the Suncoast Sworn team who earnedthemselves a slot at the Nationalchampionships in Oak Ridge, Tenn.,Oct. 23 and 24.

Trefny took a third in his class of the50-yard freestyle this weekend at theAmberjax meet in Jacksonville andresults were still coming hi at presstime on his relays.

Noon took a fourth in the 50-yardfreestyle - there was only eight tenthsof a second difference in the first fourfinishers. Noon's relay team turned inbetter scores than those swimming inthe 20-24 age class.

Noon and Trefny are hoping theirclub, the Suncoast Swim club, will puton a swim meet in this area in the nextthree-four months.

They are also looking for a home in apublic place where they can display thetrophies and awards they havereceived while swimming this year forthe Sanibel Police Department.

Mary Ann Hylton: surrounded by artFor an artist who believes in using as

many natural materials as possible.fc believes that art is inherent in

veryday surroundings and shouldn'tbe relegated to a closed-up studio,coming to the Islands was love at firstsight for Mary Ann Hylton.

Basically a self-taught artist,although she "constantly attendsclasses," Mary Ann will herself beteaching art classes this fall.

In her home, all of which is a studiofor her art, on location and "wherever

the most natural," she is offeringsses for adults, teenagers and

children in drawing, painting, sculp-ture and mixed media design.

The courses are eight weeks in lengthand begin next week. Mary Ann is alsooffering continuing short courses insand-casting, batik and on-location

ing trips. ("The batik class mightyou with some nifty Christmas

gift ideas.)Mary Ann ran an art school in

Maryland for five years before movingto Sanibel with husband Virgil anddaughter Dana late last year. He is onthe staff at Shell Point Village: Dana isa CX press Lake junior.

Most of Mary Ann's abstracts stemfrom nature- "One of my favoritesevolved from observing land patternsseen from an airplane." she said. "The

, The Hylton home is a studio - indoorsand oat.

only realistic thing I do is portrait andportrait sculpture."

A statuesque blond with a quietreserved manner, Mary Ann's classesare only a portion of the activities inwhich she is involved. She works part-time at Art Fac where "working withreally good stuff excites me. I'm not aphotographer but I really appreciategood photography. Like art, it doesn'tjust happen."

She also gives workshops around thecountry. "In the last four years, I gaveabout 50 workshops," she estimates,and,wincing slightly,"W in one year."

She is also president of the Eighth\

. / • •

Portrait sculpture is also a specialtyfor Marv Ann Hvlton.

Day Art Center, a proposed facilitydesigned to house artists in a retreat-like atmosphere, hopefully on Sanibelor Captiva.

"I know it will draw from all over thecountry, Mary Ann told the ISLAN-DER, "I've had so many inquiries frompeople who really feel the need to beable to create in this type of at-mosphere."

Plans for the center include differentstudios with facilities for videotapingguest instructors and sharing thesetapes with other school across thecountry.

•'The primary requirement now isfinding the land." Mary Ann said,adding that interested persons couldcontact her at 911 S. Yachtsman, 472-4223. -The facility would also include on-going instruction for area residents.

Getting the Center started ranks highon Mary Ann's priority list but it is notexclusive. She is also planning anational religious art show in this areain the next year. The partly invitationaland juried show will be limited to ex-pressions of faith. By winter of 1978 shewill hold either a one-man or two-manart show with a friend with whom she iscollaborating on a Creation series.'"Religious art is my personal ex-pression," she says.

She is also starting on a series ofportraits of people in SHARE. SHAREis a program of self-help for minoritiesto help people help themselves. "Thebeauty of the program lies in the

beauty of the people working in it," shesaid, "and that's why the portraits areso important."

Rather an ambitious program butwith Mary Ann Hylton's organization,creativity and demand for a quiet butfirm sense of self-purpose, it will beaccomplished. And then:

"I have so many things backed up inmy head, that if I live to be 150,1 won'tget it all done."

Until then, one has the feeling, shewon't rest.

corf't from page 16tenants had left the dwellinghurriedly, taking with themmost of the furniture whichthey did not OWE.

Attempts to determine the«pects* new address haveved futile thus far, but

the investigation isproceeding.

An Island patrolmanmisplaced his waUet acd carkeys last week and washighly concerned over theloss of ais Identification.

Other Islanders laterfound and returned thewallet, although the carkeys have yet to turn up.

Pursuant to a phone callfrom city officials, as Islandpatrolman issued a citationlast week to a workman whowas seen driving a forJdiftand a track on SanibeTsbeach In the vicinity of aconstruction site.

An official of the COQ-doEBiniiim where theviolation took place wasreported to have usedmanaciog and abusivelanguage toward thepatrolman, who was onlydoing iiis duty by enforcingthe elty*s ordinanceprohibiting fee operation ofmotor vehicles an Islandbeaches.

The patromaii in question

largely ignored the offensiveremarks, and no legal actionother than issuing a citationto the driver o£ themachinery *,vas taken.

A young Islander reportedthe disappearance of her 3-speed bicycle from herhome one day last week.

The search for the stolenbicycle is continuing.

An Islander telephonedSPD in fee wee boars of themoraiBg one day last weekto complain about noisyconstruction machinery atwork in Ms neighborhood.

A patrolman wasdispaiched to the area andinstructed the foreman ofthe construction crew toclose his show down until adecent hour such as 7:00a.m.

The patrolman's orderswere compiled with and noother action was taken.

SPD was involved in theinvestigation of two com-plaints of worthless checksbeing passed on the Islandslast week.

In both cases, the badchecks were passed byIsland visitors to dischargethe bills which had ac-cumulated at the resorts or

motels where they stayed.Both of the rubber checksreported last week weremade out for amounts ex-ceeding S250.

SPD is continuing theirefforts to assist Island resortmanagers in recoveringtheir loss.

All things considered, itwas a rather routine, albeitbusy week for SPD lastweek.

Aside from individualreports listed above, SPDpatrolmen secured 6 in-secure premises on theIslands last week, escorted 4large trucks across theIslands, investigated 3

traffic accidents, onedomestic problem, onereport of missing persons,and rendered miscellaneousassistance on 13 occasions.

Incidentally, SPD brokeall of their previous recordsby issuing 10 speedingtickets to visitng and Islandmotorists last week. Itshould be noted that thegreat majority of thecitations were issued to non-residents of the Islands.

In terms of otheremergency services, theSanibel Fire Departmentwas kept busy with 8 callsfor assistance last week,while emergency medicaltechnicians were called out 4times during the week en-ding September 23.
